Default What type of birth control pill will not make you gain weight? - 12-18-2008, 03:45 AM

I take Yasmin and it doesn't make me gain weight but it is expensive. I've tried several older birth control pills that were cheaper, but they made me hungry and I started eating like a cow.Does anyone know what the names of the birth control pills that will not make a person hungry or gain weight?ThanksBTW I'm not over weight and I take the pill to keep my cycle regular so there is no need for sarcastic remarks.

Levlen is good, its cheap and the only side effect is that you need to pee a lot when you have your period

Everyone reacts differently. Some don't make you gain weight - others make it tough to lose weight. Others don't affect you at all.Progestrin-only pills are the best bet to take, BUT they have to be taken at the same time each day. No exceptions.

just talk to your doctor, he or she would know the best. however, my doctor told me than no birth control really causes weight gain. i took orto tricyclen lo for four years and never gained weight because of it. hope this helps.

pretty much all of them will because they're messing with your hormones. I also believe they give you cancer too. Messing with the female body ..hormones in particular has never been proven to be a good thing because doctors don't fully understand woman yet. Their hormones cannot be replicated ...unlike men with viagra...and their body functions are"out of this world"so to speakgod you ppl are so predictable with your thumbs down..well if you want to be fat and riddled with reproductive cancers then so be it...
